What happens when Encore Theatre Company’s cast and a favorite children’s storybook character meet for the summer? A colorful, toe-tapping musical of classic Dr. Seuss tales — such as "Horton Hears a Who," "The Cat in the Hat," "Miss Gertrude McFuzz," and "The Butter Battle Book."

The two-act show about the adventures and antics of beloved Dr. Seuss characters features a cast of actors ages 13 to 21.

“The audience can expect that, when they come to see 'Seussical,' they are going to laugh, cry, and reminisce on the characters that they used to read in their children's books,” says Grayson Phillips, 19, who plays the Cat in the Hat, one of the most lovable and classic Dr. Seuss imaginings.

General admission tickets are $10, available at the door or online at www.etcyouthguild.com.

Children attending "Seussical" are encouraged to dress as their favorite Dr. Seuss character for a chance to enter a special drawing. The winner — announced during each show’s intermission — receives a Dr. Seuss book, signed by the ETC Seussical cast of characters.
